a study to evaluate the combination of atx-101 and platinum-based chemotherapy

Conditions: Ovarian Cancer; Fallopian Tube Cancer; Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma; High Grade Serious or Endometrioid Carcinoma of the Ovary, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

Summary: this is a phase 1b/2a multicenter study, which consists of two parts: part 1: the phase 1b part of the study will investigate the safety of the combination of atx-101 with carboplatin/pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (acd). atx-101 will be administered intravenously in three escalation cohorts: 20, 30, and 45 mg/m² according to a 3+3 design. in the case where 20 mg/m² is not tolerated, the dose can be de-escalated to 15 mg/m². part 2: the phase 2a part of the study will investigate the efficacy and safety of acd. atx-101 will be administered at the dose defined in part 1 of the study. treatment will continue up to six cycles or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, participant withdrawal of consent, non-compliance, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal at the investigators discretion, whichever occurs first.
